Benchmarking

Through the use of benchmarking, producers are able to identify strengths, weaknesses and opportunities on their farm. This allows corrections and adjustments to be made to find the most optimal solution on an individual farm level. Benchmarking tools that incorporate technical and financial metrics are also useful for validating the on-farm effect of new technologies and feeding strategies, including those derived from growth simulation models. The use of benchmarking data to support decision-making processes is of crucial importance in pork production. Compiporc is Trouw Nutrition's leading technology in the area of benchmarking for swine.
